LAWLESS collected

Rebellion are certainly putting out a lot of collections of strips these days. Next month sees the awesome Lawless Volume 1, with amazingly detailed artwork by Phil Winslade. Ludicrously, there are still some people who claim today's comics aren't as well drawn as those of decades ago. Take a look at this, folks. Phil's artwork is on a par with any of the best work published in comics since comics began! The high standard of comic art today is incredible. Here's the info on the book from the publishers, along with the first five pages to whet your appetites...•CREATIVE TEAM: Dan Abnett (w) Phil Winslade (a) Ellie De Ville (l)•REGIONS: UK & US print, worldwide digital•RELEASE DATE: 15 June 2017•PAPERBACK - 178 PAGES•PRICE: £14.99 (UK) $20 (US)•ISBN: 9781781085431•DIAMOND: APR171921

I read the first couple of stories in the Megazine and was very impressed. The Dredd universe is a brilliant place to play in for the writers and artists and I'll have to make sure to pick this up. A fantastic new character and I'm glad to see she's proven popular.

Brand new comic!
